free leaf (destination)
i sat
on
my couch,
facing
the partially
cleared view,
i watched
outside,
there,
a low
hanging limb,
golden leaves
abundant,
occasionally,
a leaf
would leap
away from
the limb,
and i
wondered
about
its destination,
i wondered
if
the leaf
knew
where it
may end up,
or,
if it
minded
at all.

Dear J,
I liked the perspective in this poem. Nature has such a carefree way I often be wish I could adopt but then the mortgage comes due and I have to mind where I land. Alas, the beauty of of nature. Always a joy to read your poems. H🌷

We are leaves gone with the wind of destiny,we land when we die.
before that let's enjoy our flight with words and see the world from above..in dreams
we weave our hopes and in reality we realise them..
Always hopeful tomorrows.

thank you poeticdelight, but i don't think the leaves die. they may stumble away, dream, their souls crumble. but we will see them again absorbed, reincarnated in new trees come spring.

Yes, may be, but another leaf takes the turn, not the same one, otherwise there would not reincarnation, we all dissolve in each others ^particles and come into another entity, the cycle of life,'' may be''
